“Eek, this is like a group vacation.” Her quick, light claps accompanied Garcia’s excited squeal. Her bright, energetic demeanour seemed to lift everyone’s mood, which was below average that early afternoon on a cloudy Wednesday. The reason was mostly that they were all tired from the mission on the previous day. Also, the fact that a one-and-a-half-day road trip was ahead of them didn’t really help either.

As soon as they clocked in to work that day, Hotchner greeted them with the rather unfortunate news that in order to avoid any suspicion, they’d have to travel on the road and not with the private jet, which meant a roughly 35-hour-long drive. The Bureau was kind enough to provide the team with a minibus and three assigned FBI agents as drivers so they wouldn’t have to take turns behind the wheel.

“Did Morgan manage to kick down fewer doors in the previous month or what?” you asked jokingly as you watched the biscuit-coloured vehicle roll up to the team. The Bureau was constantly up in your asses with the monthly budget and how expensive it was sometimes to fund the unit. They were so stingy that it became a joking material between you.

“Ha-ha, very funny,” rolled his warm, chocolate brown eyes the mentioned man as he lightly punched your shoulder.

The truth is this wasn’t out of generosity. It was more of a tactical investment, recommended by the anti-trafficking unit. If it were up to the Bureau, you’d be crammed up in those notorious black SUVs for almost two days straight. But the dark vehicles became so known for belonging to law enforcement personnel that if the host or some guests from the auction saw them, the BAU would immediately get noticed and the mission would be a failure.

“So, Hotch” spoke Reid not so far from you who was strangely silent this morning. “We are going to spend the night at some hotel, I assume.”

“Yes. This way we will arrive at Flathead Lake either tomorrow night or Friday morning, depending on the traffic.” nodded your boss. He informed you that the briefing will take place on the bus since the anti-trafficking unit - who invited the team to help with the case – gathered some new information about the owner of the lakeside mansion where the auction will take place. While you infiltrated yesterday’s gala, they also put together a somewhat solid plan. Luckily, the BAU didn’t have to do everything all by themselves, they got joined up with competent people.

You quickly ran your gaze through the whole team. There was Hotchner, Rossi, JJ, Prentiss, Morgan, Garcia, Reid and of course, you. An even number of people. Meaning everyone had to share rooms with someone. You were more than sure that the “dads” – as in Aaron and David – would share one, just like Emily and Jennifer. There wasn’t any question about it. Now came the bigger problem, which was the Morgan-Garcia duo. If they were to share a room, it would only leave you with the doctor. Oh God no. You definitely can’t let that happen.

The minibus was the smallest possible one out there with 12 seats maximum, plus the seat of the chauffeur. This looked worse and worse for you by the minute. Of the three drivers, one was obviously behind the wheel, and the other two were occupying 2-2 front-row seats so they could rest properly. Leaving exactly eight seats for the team, so nobody had the opportunity to sit alone.

“So, Pen…” you hugged the woman next to you with one of your arms and had a Cheshire cat kind of smile on your face.

“Absolutely not” objected Derek, shaking his head before the flamboyant blonde diva could even take a breath. “There is no chance in hell that I’d sit next to Reid for around 40 hours. Babygirl is with me, so don’t even try. And I’m also sharing a room with her.”

“But…”

“Get your asses moving, guys” called for you already from the bus Emily. The rest of the team was waiting for only the three of you. As you placed your foot on the thin steps of the light-coloured vehicle, you silently prayed that someone, out of pure coincidence, decided to sit next to Dr Pain-in-the-ass Reid. The cleanly designed door of the modern bus silently shut behind you while you quickly scanned the insides. Since you were the last to get on board, there was only one unoccupied seat in the third window row… Next to your unpleasant co-worker. Of course, where else? At this point, you felt like God was testing you.

It’s not that you didn’t like him, but there was always some underlying tension between you, and you felt like you were constantly on edge around him. The subtle rivalry was exciting, of course. You were a very competitive person by nature. But still, you felt like you were under a microscope, getting dissected by his curious, watchful eyes each and every time you were in the same place. You weren’t friends, not even close to that, in your opinion. Simply co-workers who were a bit too similar in some ways and exhaustingly different in others.

Reid was sitting in the aisle seat. His thumbs played with the edge of the case folder, which was on his lap while he leaned back in his seat with closed eyes. He tried to shut out the lively group for a moment and get 8 hours of sleep done in 2 minutes.

“Hey…” you were the one who pulled him out of his somewhat meditative state as you awkwardly stood next to him. “Could you let me in?” you pointed at the empty seat.

For a moment, he didn’t really react, just looked at you with his eyebrows furrowed. He was slightly taken aback. Of course, there was a high possibility of you two having to sit next to each other. However, he thought that due to the complicated relationship that you had – which oftentimes was the cause of heated arguments -, someone would do the whole team a favour and take the place next to him. But no. Everyone seemed to stick with whom they were the closest with. This was reasonable, given that suffering through 1 and a half days of travelling would be even worse if you’re by the side of someone you aren’t that close with.

In a sense, the BAU was like a family, yes. During their years of work, they crossed the river Styx and came back countless times. They’ve seen Hell unleashed. They’ve experienced how cruel and disgusting human nature can be. But they did it together. And this created an unbreakable bond between them. There was nothing they wouldn’t do for each other.

Now, sitting in one place for around 40 hours crammed up in a small space is an entirely different question. Everyone gets bored, grumpy and annoyed easily. It’s safer to stick with the person you’re especially comfortable with, even amongst them.

Reid quickly collected his thoughts. He wasn’t feeling like he was in his element, and it bothered him. He couldn’t lose against you. Not even in a non-existent competition about which one of you is handling this cooler.

“Be my guest,” he smirked but didn’t move an inch.

“Are you serious right now?” you crossed your arms in front of your chest as you looked him in the eyes with a challenging spark in your irises. The bus slowly moved under you, making you stumble a bit. His smirk turned into a grin as he slid down in his seat, making himself more comfortable.

“Everyone, I’d like to start the briefing,” you hear Hotch’s voice through the bus’s speaker since he used the microphone at the front. They were waiting for you to sit down finally.

“I won’t hesitate to step and walk all over you,” you tried to sound as serious as possible, hoping that by asserting your dominance, he’d stand up and let you in.

“Kinky” came the unserious comment from JJ who was in one of the backseats, causing the more unserious half of the team to chuckle.

“Guys, please,” your boss tried to take control of the situation while the little asshole next to you was just smiling smugly. This was your last straw. You took a deep breath and lifted your left leg over his lap, so your back was facing him. This situation was so embarrassing that you couldn’t possibly face him and remain collected.

Since the trunk was placed there, the ceiling above the seats was low, you had to kind of sit down to be able to squeeze yourself in. So, for a few excruciating moments, you were in his lap.

“I swear to fucking God one of us won’t get off of here alive, and it won’t be me” you murmured, your voice was filled with anger as you finally wiggled your way through the obstacle, being a literal grown-ass man. You didn’t even notice that the sound of his irritating chuckle was absent. He severely miscalculated things with this stunt that he pulled. You were so close to him. So damn close. He could smell the pleasant mix of your soft, sweet perfume and your shampoo lingering in the air. It wasn’t too strong, nothing over the top. You mostly used things that had natural scents, either from flowers or fruits. Things that smelled like candy, or anything overly artificial usually gave you a headache so you tended to avoid those. He probably wouldn't have noticed it if you weren’t that close. But now, as the gentle aroma filled his nose, it became impossible not to think about it. Also, the fact that he could’ve just reached his hands out and grabbed your hips when you sat down for a flickering moment on his thighs was an image he was hardly able to ignore.

But alas, you finally got to your seat and Hotch was able to start going through the developments of the case with the assistance of the one and only Penelope Garcia. “I’m sorry to say this, my lovelies, but the mansion is equipped with the best security system anyone could ever dream of. On top of that, the private guards hired are employees of the most elite and most efficient security agency worldwide. I don’t think it’d be possible for you to sneak in,” she said while she sent files and pictures to your tablets. “Being wired is also risky. Plus, there is the problem of no weapons, no vests, no nothing.”

“So, we're just going to raw dog this mission the way God intended?” you clicked your tongue as you said the rhetorical question mostly to yourself, causing Derek, who was sitting behind you, to snort.

“Well, one of us is definitely going in ra…” Emily’s sly smile matched her unserious tone perfectly. You could envision a crystal-clear picture of her face with a playful glimmer in her eyes. Not even a day went by since the undercover mission with your boss, so it was obvious none of them were going to let the topic go.

“Prentiss.” Hotchner’s deep, warning grunt came from the front seats as firm advice for your best friend to think carefully about whether she’d like to continue her sentence or not. You let out an awkward laugh as you pressed your forehead to the back of the seat in front of you. When the others quieted down, your boss continued. “Luckily, the anti-trafficking unit was able to get information about the staff working on the event. Morgan, Reid. You and a few agents from the other unit are matching their descriptions. They were all pursuable to give their shifts over to us. Garcia will send you detailed information about them, so you’ll be able to blend in as much as possible.”

This seemed logical so far. It was clear as day that you couldn’t send in Emily, JJ or Rossi since they were more or less public figures. Rossi was a well-respected author, JJ was the liaison of the team who later became a full-fledged agent, and Emily was known for her international contacts.

“We know that there are even politicians and CEOs joining the event. This will be an awfully low-risk crowd in one place at the same time. Wouldn’t they be more throughout with the workers too?” shook his head Spencer making his light brown wavy locks bounce slightly. He let his hair grow longer, giving his characteristic face a perfect frame. It took some time to collect himself, to tame the rushing thoughts that were so out of character for him. He honestly didn’t understand his reaction. Why did he freeze at the smell of you? Why did those sharp images appear in his mind out of the blue? What the hell was wrong with him?

Countless thoughts occupied his outstanding brain, making him somewhat irritated. Ever since they started working on the case, he felt like every single factor was against them. With politics involved, it was almost impossible to gain the upper hand, moreover, the team was at a bigger risk than usual. And now this too?

“Well, I’m sure the host will be. But the other rich assholes don’t give a fuck about anyone lower than them, let’s be honest. Moreover, I could also imagine that the staff is the responsibility of an employee of the host, not even the host himself.” you didn’t even realize that you went against his judgement, it came so naturally, almost as an instinct. But you opposed him, again. He turned his head towards you, a stern, stoic expression on his face, one of his eyebrows slightly raised.

By this time, your head was also in the game. You quickly collected yourself after the embarrassing moment with Reid and your teammates' comments. The latter one wouldn’t have bothered you, but since you were already awkward and your face was all hot and red, the girls’ remarks were like gasoline to the fire. But you couldn’t let this bother you for a long time. You worked too hard to get to where you are right now. You loved your job and were great at it. You loved the team too, more than anything. That bastard next to you couldn’t possibly gain the upper hand so easily over you.

“Are all the victims kept in the mansion?” took over the word Rossi. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared at the documents on the flat electronic device in his hands.

“According to the anti-trafficking unit’s information, over the years, Jonathan Grace, our host this weekend, brought most of the land around the northern area of Flathead Lake through different, hardly traceable accounts and he has properties all around the area. There is a big chance that the victims are held captive in all locations, making it harder for them to unite and attempt escaping.”

This was making things even harder. Now, there was a huge possibility of the victims not even being at the same place at the same time, making rescuing them in one organised attempt almost impossible.

“There are an awful lot of things that could go sideways,” Derek’s sigh was filled with worry and annoyance. He hated nothing more than when politics got in their way. In humanity’s way. This whole thing was bullshit. Proceeding with caution when hundreds of people were forcefully stripped of their freedom, their free will, and their lives, just because politics made this case a delicate one?! It almost seemed as if the actual victims hardly mattered, the only important thing was not to get damaged by an influential asshole. Of course, he knew that it wasn’t the situation with the team, but the outside looked very much like it. If it was up to him, he would’ve raided all of Grace’s properties with a bunch of SWAT members and got everyone out immediately. But he also knew that the moment the traffickers smelled something fishy, they’d disappear without a trace and reorganise somewhere else, continuing their activities, destroying people’s lives while not even being on the radar anymore. He would’ve ruined months, even years of hard work for the AT unit. Not to talk about any future victims he wouldn’t be able to save. So, logically speaking, he understood perfectly why they were handling everything so carefully and second-guessing each of their ideas, but it still infuriated him.

“Will there be units at every building Grace owns?” you asked. You habitually turned over and over the single ring on your ring finger as a subtle method of stimming. You were anxious because of the case. It was impossible not to be.

“Obviously,” came the kind of condescending reaction from, you guessed it right, Reid. “That was kind of a dumb question, Y/N, don’t you think?” he was facing you, his head slightly tilted downwards to look you in the eyes, since he was significantly taller even while sitting. A small smile was plastered on his face, making your blood boil even more. You weren’t even on the road for half an hour and already wanted to choke him to death.

“Yeah, I decided to take one for the team and ask the stupid question early on so you could correct me and get your daily bitching done,” you nodded your tone full of fake sympathy.

“Is it really daily bitching or you’re just constantly making mistakes?” he clapped back immediately while wearing a passive-aggressive smile on his patronising, punchable face.

“Ah, here we go again,” came Morgan’s grunt from behind you.

“Last time I checked I had more solved cases than you, thanks to my so-called mistakes.”

Ah, yes. Solved cases. Obviously, none of the successful ones were thanks to a singular person, everything you do is a team effort. However, since both of you were competitive as hell, you had this unsaid game going on between the two of you. Whoever’s leads or ideas proved the most useful during an investigation could take that case as their own.

“Kids.” This time the eldest was the one whose warning voice caused you to stop.

×××

The next four or five hours went by quietly. After Rossi put an end to your bickering, both of you stayed in line. We could even say, you acted as normal, reasonable adults. The briefing went on for an hour more but after that, everyone became silent and absolved in the files.

The time for the first toilet break came when the bus parked at a resting stop. You pulled the earphones out of your ears and stretched in your seat. As you arched your back, the salmon-coloured button-up shirt that you were wearing tightened a bit around your upper body, perfectly outlining your otherwise hidden curves. Your movements weren’t provocative, not even in the slightest. It’s just Spencer who’s been finding himself in these weird scenarios where he suddenly noticed everything about you.

Of course, you were pretty, he was very well aware of this fact from day one. But now it seemed like this piece of information was actively in his mind for some unknown reason.

“Will you let me out or do I have to crawl over you again?” you turned with your upper body towards him and leaned a bit closer. The others were in the middle of leaving the bus, so nobody gave much attention to you, luckily.

He also leaned towards you, and swallowed his saliva before answering, making his Adam’s apple quickly rise and fall. “Whichever one you’d prefer more.”

“Move your ass then,” you urged him as you looked directly into his pretty, light brown eyes that had hints of green in them, seemingly unaffected by what he said. He kept eye contact while his pupils slightly dilated but didn’t say a thing. For a quick, unnoticeable moment his brows got furrowed and his jaw tightened but this expression disappeared as soon as it came. Without a word, Spencer stood up and left the vehicle with quick-paced steps. He felt like even the air got tighter around them in the small space. Must be the fault of the tiny bus.

thank you so much for reading my work, hope you're having an awesome day! divider from @cafekitsune

Unlocking the Secrets to Laptop Motherboard Repair: Your Ultimate Guide — JK Technology

Welcome to JK Technology’s comprehensive guide on laptop motherboard repair! If your laptop is acting up and you suspect a motherboard issue, you’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essentials of diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining your laptop’s motherboard. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or a newbie, we’ve got you covered. So, let’s dive in! 🚀

Understanding the Motherboard 🌐

What is a Motherboard? 🤔

The motherboard, often referred to as the heart of your laptop, is a crucial component that connects all the different parts of your device. It houses the CPU, RAM, and other essential hardware components, enabling them to communicate and work together seamlessly.

Anti-static wrist strap

Thermal paste

Multimeter

Cleaning supplies (isopropyl alcohol, soft brush)

Having the right tools at hand will make the repair process smoother and safer.

Step-by-Step Repair Guide 📝

Step 1: Safety First ⚡

Always start by ensuring your safety:

Turn Off the Laptop: Completely power down and unplug your laptop.

Remove the Battery: If your laptop has a removable battery, take it out.

Discharge Static Electricity: Use an anti-static wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge.

Step 2: Disassemble Your Laptop 🔧

Carefully open your laptop by following these steps:

Remove Screws: Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove all screws from the bottom of your laptop.

Detach Components: Gently disconnect the battery, hard drive, RAM, and other easily removable components.

Open the Case: Carefully pry open the laptop case to expose the motherboard.

Step 3: Inspect the Motherboard 🕵️

With the motherboard exposed, perform a thorough inspection:

Check for Damage: Look for visible signs of damage like burnt components or broken traces.

Smell Test: A burnt smell can indicate fried circuits.

Use a Multimeter: Test various points on the motherboard for continuity and proper voltage.

Step 4: Replace Damaged Components 🔄

If you identify damaged components, you can replace them:

Source Replacement Parts: Find compatible replacement components online or at a local electronics store.

Soldering Skills: If you’re comfortable with soldering, replace small components yourself. Otherwise, seek professional help.

Reapply Thermal Paste: If you’ve removed the CPU, clean off old thermal paste and apply a fresh layer before reassembly.

Step 5: Reassemble Your Laptop 🛠️

Once repairs are complete, carefully reassemble your laptop:

Reconnect Components: Attach all components back to the motherboard.

Close the Case: Snap the laptop case back together and secure it with screws.

Look. All I'm saying is that if the high and mighty assholes who designed the Anti-Mass Spectrometer didn't want me taking a look under the hood, they should've secured the access panels with more than a couple flathead screws. This machine is practically begging for me to open it up when things go wrong. Sorry not sorry.

How to fix the faucet on the side of the house

Outdoor faucets are usually left unmaintained for years, until at some point the water incessantly sprays out of the handle or drips from the spout and you have no choice but to make a repair. The job is easier than you think, as long as the faucet is not too corroded to disassemble. Spigots have a simple pressure valve that presses a washer onto the valve seat when you turn the handle. Leaks occur when the washer or gasket around the handle is worn. To replace either of these worn parts, you must remove the packing nut.

Turn off the water supply to the faucet by shutting off either the valve on the water line to which the faucet is connected or the main water supply to the house.

Unscrew the sealing nut under the handle of the tap with a wrench. Spray more lubricant if it still won't turn. Hold the nozzle with adjustable pliers if you need to push on a problem nut that has frozen due to corrosion.

Pull the nut off and pull the valve out of the faucet body. Turn the valve over and unscrew the washer on the end with a Phillips screwdriver. Pry it out with a flathead screwdriver and replace it with a new one.

Unscrew the handle from the valve with a Phillips screwdriver and pull off the sealing nut if the faucet was leaking at the handle. Replace the sealing washer, if present. If the faucet has a sealing cord, pull off the old cord and wrap a new graphite-treated cord around the threads of the seal.

Slide the valve back into the valve body, screw on the gasket nut and tighten it with a wrench. Replace the handle - if you removed it - and tighten the screw. Turn on the water.

Tip

If the faucet has an anti-siphon valve screwed onto the spout and water sprays out of it, unscrew it with adjustable pliers and replace it.

If the only problem with the faucet is that a small amount of water is coming out of the handle, you may be able to fix the problem by tightening the sealing nut with a wrench.

Warning

Make sure the water is turned off before you unscrew the sealing nut, or you may shower unintentionally.

Fucking-

Volume 7??? Kicked me in the balls???

Young Megs is a sweetheart, a poor pure soul that was corrupted by his experiences.

He cares about Terminus so much, and then he gets fucking electrocuted and nearly Shadowplayed. That one red tear broke me during that scene, not sorry.

Then he goes to find Terminus and he’s gone so he has to leave without him and the loop of “I’m sorry” over and over again was so sad. Baby needs a proper hug.

Dominus being turned into a flathead??? Rewind being shut off??? Poor Minimus finding out the Funtionists were using his eyes to see them??? That shit made me cry, no joke.

Brainstorm not being able to hurt Megs??? He just couldn’t bring himself to do it, to actually kill someone himself. He ultimately failed, but he’s happy he got to see the one he loved one last time. That’s so sad and bittersweet I can’t-

Finding out that the spark Brainstorm found on Luna-1 was the spark of Megatron, the one that made him a point-one-percenter, that was cool. It’s weird to think that Rewind trying to kill Megs and Whirl bringing him back actually made the Megatron of today.

Also, Percy praising Brainstorm’s genius for creating the timecase? Love them so much.

And last but never least, Rung being anti-Funtionist god figure slaps hard go off king.

This volume was a road trip of emotions. Can’t wait for more pain and suffering next volume. <3

Oh boy dominus hate club is trending in our little neighborhood so I'm here to give my opinions you don't want. Why is a fandom for an anti-fascist comic about giant robots in space forcing fetishistic slavery headcanons onto two bots who are both marginalized for being useless alt-modes in a functionist society that prioritizes usefulness? Why would Dominus Ambus ever have a canonical reason to hurt Rewind, when the entire point of everything he did was to subversively maneuver his way in a society that barely gave him any leg room to begin with, for a change he thought he could bring for other bots like him? Actions that endangered his life and had him permanently lobotomized. Actions that, in another timeline, had him fused to the inside of his load-bearer shell and turned into a flathead. He never did anything for himself, he was certainly negligent and hurt people around him, but his reasoning was not for self-gain, and those reasons stay poignant in his character in multiple timelines. Also again, why are we so obsessed with abuse that isn't there? There are literally characters that are as bad as people think Dominus was, if you want to project abuse onto a transformer. Why make a fanon narrative of slavery for those two specifically, when there are characters that have gone through that abuse, and the story poses the results of their trauma in a way that they could conquer it and never saw them as a helpless victim; they fought to the end, and they empowered themself. (You know who I'm talking about.) In a world where these things happen to real people, it's better to have stories where someone has suffered and survived and conquered, than stories that create more suffering without resolution just to point the finger, not mitigate. It's one thing to relate to a character that has been through slavery, s**ual abuse, and all that, and project your own abuse onto them where it's expected and not harmful. It's something completely different when you have no real constructive ground to make content about those things, what does that say about you?

Scourge, redesign ref as of 6/22/2022

Putting my own spin on the lad for story purposes yes yes. Not the most glamorous of redesigns but let’s face it I didn’t wanna change the goober too much

extra info below yupyup

Yes this is for a storyline in which I do end up shipping canon characters with OC content. It’s 2022 and I’m not afraid to be cringe anymore. So if that disgusts you or doesn’t interest you move aloNG Story Wise: (Taking several years after they escape from prison) Premise of the story is that The Destructix end up kicking Scourge to the curb because of another failed mission. They all basically get sick of his crap and Fiona decided to take back over the Destructix.  They basically betray him and end up shoving him through a ring portal to a far off and unknown location. That’s where he ends up crashing on a local engineer’s robot project, destroying it. Which then he is “taken captive” to basically work and pay off his debt. Then other story plot happens and Scourge basically has to end up on “the good side” and yeh yeah. Design Notes: - He isn’t supposed to be fluffy but more grizzled? Ruffed up? Idk. I imagine he can smooth it down but due to being a shit and also depression it gets out of whack a bit. - Has more scars because of misadventures and attacks (post prison break) - When he gets kicked out, They take his jacket and sunglasses as a “trophy”. So eventually he gets a new pair of sunglasses and a new jacket. (Still misses his old ones) - new shoes because idk I felt like it?? Also his original shoes had a flathead screw in them, now they are Phillips head. See... see what I did there... do.. do you see it. - He’s a big butthurt bisexual mess - Yes eventually he becomes “good”... a Anti Hero if you will.

🎒 jj/Anti

🎒: What does your muse normally keep in their bag?

Jameson: On his person, he usually only keeps his pocket watch and two rags (one handkerchief, the other a rag for cleaning his glasses). When out an about he’ll also carry a little leather satchel with him, one of those little ones probably better suited for a camera, though! In that, he’ll keep things he might need: Glasses case, phone that he barely knows how to use, his card from Marvin, a wallet, and other odds-and-ends like breath mints, wet wipes, and spare batteries for his watch and something to pry the back off of it with, like one of those miniature flathead screwdrivers or something.

Anti: He doesn’t carry anything on him! The only thing he ever needs is his knife, and since he can just grab that out of thin air or make it dissolve into particles when he doesn’t need it, he sees no use in bogging himself down by carrying other things.

A Steampunk Pocket Watches Is All It's Raining About!

A steampunk pocket watch is essentially a hand crafted, one of a kind, watch fashioned to be worn in a shirt pocket, instead of strapped to the arm. In the not so distant past (before automobiles became widespread), people would make their own clocks and chimes just as they did with glass and porcelain - only instead of using metals and jewels to make them, they used precious stones and crystals. These hand crafted things are considered collectibles today and often come as a part of a set with other steampunk pocket watches. Steampunk is an ever-growing fad in jewelry crafting, and many people are starting their own line of "retro" jewelry and clothing.

In the Victorian era, there was a very real need for all of this jewelry to be personalized and unique - after all, personal belongings were very expensive and rare. Steampunk can loosely be defined as a type of alternative fashion, which combines the old, and new; where modern machinery is used to create vintage inventions. One might think that this would be a complete opposite of what steampunk really stands for; however, many modern conveniences actually come from Victorian inventions and machines. For instance, a steampunk pocket watch might be powered by an actual watch winder, which is actually more complicated than it sounds.

Many steampunk enthusiasts make their own versions of the Victorian era, and they will wind their steampunk pocket watch using a simple, yet elegant design made from stainless steel. This type of material is perfect for winding and making the tiny gears that help to move the minute dial. When the actual chain is made from stainless steel as well, it creates a truly sturdy and long-lasting chain that will keep the timepiece running without worry.

The secret of working with the steampunk design is to make sure that the chains are real, and not just hollowed out plastic pieces made to look like chains. If the chain is not made from real metal, then the entire watch will break in a matter of years. Another detail that is important when it comes to creating a steampunk pocket watch with gears is that the actual hardware for activating the minute hand and anti-clock mechanism should be real and functional. There is no way to use a simple nail or a flathead screwdriver for this task, so any authentic airship clock or other similar device should be used. This is something that people who create steampunk pocket watches are highly skilled at - and are good at even today.

Now that you have your steampunk pocket watch completed, the next step is to take it on an airship trip. This is actually a fun way to travel back in time - to an earlier time, where people wore very elaborate clothing and lived their lives in an entirely different time period. There is one thing that people who create these items can do to make sure that their creations come through as they should: wrap them in formal event attire. Steampunk events include everything from parades to steaming nightclubs. You should definitely plan on dressing up accordingly. The last thing that anyone wants is to accidentally throw their steampunk pocket watch off a balcony.

When you are traveling in an airship, it is always important to make sure that your accessories work properly, so that everyone enjoys them. This includes your steampunk pocket watch. Although these devices are not typically worn in public, they are extremely handy for carrying around in your suit. It would be highly unwise to wear a cheap chain with a big buckle on a train or express train, so always make sure that the materials used are solid and can handle the weight of your chainsaw.
